Generic Methods Definition
By the term "crude fibre" is understood a mixture of largely undigestible substances of vegetable origin obtained as the residue of a precisely defined digestion procedure using acetic, nitric and trichloro-acetic acids. "Crude fibre" consists chiefly of cellulose and other vegetable cell wall substances. The crude fibre value does not represent the absolute content of these components.
